Let it be repaired privately and give the bill to seagate won't work... and i guess thats what they count on. who would send his harddisc to a company not around the corner?

Well, not everyone has a recovery specialist around the corner, there're just a little bunch of companies doing a real good job in this area so sending might be worth the issue.  But nevermind, Seagate will just flash something on the controller and wont touch the disks itself. But you try to do this by yourself, just plug in the hdds, run the update tool, (you can find it in the officiual Seagate forum) and try to flash it. This worked for almost half of the users who are affected.

Seagate provides some tools that will recognize the HDD even if windows does not, just check their support page and forum.
